Color and design affects everyone. We are all influenced every day by our surroundings. Think about it. Have you ever been inside a room before where you just felt on edge or anxious? I know I have.

I'm very aware of how my surroundings affect me. I know that I am most effective at work when I have good lighting and a tidy and organized desk. If my desk is cluttered and my lighting is bad, I have a hard time focusing and concentrating, which ultimately affects my output.

Kids are no different. Especially kids that have sensory issues such as those with autism or aspergers. The colors that you use to design any child's environment can have a major impact on their attitude and their behavior.

Lauren is an amazing artist and her knowledge of how color and environment affect a child is unsurpassed. Her skills and unique service will have a very positive and major impact on your child too. We are so blessed to have her share her knowledge with our readers every month.
